[BETA] X2WOTCCommunityHighlander v1.29.0

Description
BETA NOTICE

IF YOU USE THIS BETA VERSION UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE STABLE HIGHLANDER MOD OR YOUR GAME WILL CRASH!

This is the BETA version of the Highlander. It contains the latest changes before they make their way into the stable version.

You can help the Highlander team by using the BETA version instead of the stable version and providing feedback on bugs or new features.

WARNING: Use the BETA version at your own risk and not in an Ironman run. It is possible that the BETA contains undetected bugs and may crash your game or cause other issues.

What is Highlander?

Highlander replaces a big portion of the game's code in order to make it more moddable and mod-compatible, as well as fix a lot of bugs.

As implied by the name, only one Highlander mod can be used at a time. Hence, the Highlander tries to address as many use cases as possible. Not counting fixing bugs, the Highlander does not change the behavior of the game, it merely provides ways for other mods to do so.

Everything that goes into Highlander undergoes rigorous testing and peer review.

How do I use the Highlander?

Subscribe to the mod and enable it in your mod launcher like you would any other. You should see the Highlander's name and current version appear in the lower right corner of the game's main menu screen.

Useful Links

Thank you for using the Highlander. Our objective is to support all modders to be all they can be, so if you have suggestions please let us know.

[BETA] Alien Hunters DLC Plugin

If you have Alien Hunters DLC installed and enabled, and you are using this version of the Highlander, then you also should install the [WOTC][BETA] Alien Hunters Community Highlander plugin as well.

Do NOT install that plugin if you do NOT have the Alien Hunters DLC.

Iridar and your team, you all rule! Thanks!

@everyone
An update to full version 1.29.0 has been published. Full changelog can be found here:
https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/X2WOTCCommunityHighlander/releases/tag/v1.29.0

Importantly, the following bugfix mods have been integrated into Highlander and you no longer need them:

[WotC] Revival Protocol Fixes
https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123037187

(WOTC) Revival Protocol Charges Fix
https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1862336674

They DO NOT conflict with Highlander, but there's no reason to use them either. You may still want to use the Charges Fix mod if you want to set non-default amount of bonus Revival Protocol Charges, which is currently 1/1/2.

No worries! I'm sure I'll get this going eventually with the building on my end. You have instructions plenty clear, just I've missed something preparatory or expected. Between that and r/xcom2mods' wiki entries I should be good.

Sorry, you'll have to wait until the full 1.29 release.

I hate asking anything of Iridar, as I know he's a busy one, but I'm dumb. Is there any chance you could push an update? I've tried to build the mod and have been hitting a wall. The target sort caching is something I desperately wish to utilize.

Thanks. Manually installing the highlander worked. Still very strange, because it was on steam mod folder.
Iridar 4 Nov, 2024 @ 5:55pm 
See the two troubleshooting links in the description above.

@Dragon32 i have the same problem of @Alakhai, but my game doesnt launch (im getting error detected attempting load of package xcomwotccomunity highlander)
Iridar 1 Nov, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
It seems the patch notes for the latest update are once again incorrect, fewer changes have actually made it into it. Apologies for the confusion, it seems the way I roll out partial releases needs some refinement.
Mentioned features will make it into the Highlander eventually.

AML reports as Dependencies what mod authors have put on their mod's Workshop page. Shouldn't be an issue.
